Also from the Grubby video- Love the new content! While I don't have super in depth knowledge about balance or the like so I can't exactly give much opinion on that, I do have a couple of bugs/typos I found.

• As was mentioned, by Bleeq, the collisions on some of the mid construction Naga buildings is off to the point where specifically the reef basin, and sanctuarium can't be selected mid construction without bandboxing. This leads to some unfortunate side effects, such as being unable to use face the void on those structures, if the need somehow arises.
• The description for the Nerubian upgrade Feast (Underground Temple) has the word immobilized misspelled as immobilazed.

Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more!

Hello and welcome to the Hive! I appreciate you coming here.
Thank you for pointing out this things, will try my best to fix building selection, no luck so far.

Appreciate the welcoming c:

In the meantime, I found another bug, that applies to both factions.
The Naga Commander ability War Command's cooldown can be bypassed completely if the Naga Commander has cloak of shadows. Despite the icon appearing as if it is cooling down, instead of preventing the player from using it, you can simply use it over and over. This isn't the case when Naga Commander isn't holding the cloak. This also applies to the Nerubian Librarian's Nerubian Archives spells.

Hey, thanks, that one was specific. Will be fixed in the next upload.

 

[Opheliax]

Got another one for you.
It seems on Turtle Rock, the Naga Tidemistress' riptide ability can't hit any of the turtles. I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional. It seems to hit everything else, including the Murloc Tiderunners and Murloc Nightcrawlers on the map Amazonia, which feels like a weird inconsistency since they're both aquatic, which leads me to believe it's a bug.

Second, something that is less a bug and more a suggestion. Would it be possible to add random to the race selection menu? If not that's totally understandable, just something that would be nice to have.

Finally, a question. Is there a better place for me to report bugs or the like? It feels a bit bad to be spamming the comments every time I find something, regardless of how small.

 

[Maxwell]

Hello there @Opheliax. Thank you for your feedback!
I believe there is a weird thing in wc3 code, when amphibian units don't count as ground. I guess I will rewrite the filter for this ability.
Random is doable, but I will add it later. Going to rewrite start initialization.
And you can easily contact me if you are using Discord.

 

[Opheliax]

Have another bug to report here, since discord was being stinky and didn't like the link. (I'll send a friend request later, if that's acceptable.)
It seems that Monsoon Aura applies to enemy units, as well as friendly units, contrary to the description which says it should only work on friendly units. It was definitely a fun surprise.

Thank you for quick answer, however when i start the game(map) i dont see an option to choose race. What can be done?

 

[Maxwell]

You sure the map name you run starts with Warcraft 4?

And just to be sure - do you have official last version of the game?

 

[Opheliax]

Back with more to report. Hope these have been more helpful than annoying- first though, love the ui for the two new races, and appreciate the addition of random!

General
1. So, it seems since this update, matches vs ai have broken- the ai will still try to play, up until the point where they build their altar, after that it seems like their ai just locks up. Not sure if this is within your control, but it's worth mentioning just in case.

Naga
1. Not sure if this is intentional for balance reasons, or a bug, but by default murloc slaves gather 10 lumber (with overseer presence) but only gather 8 with overwork active. Feels weird, but if it's for balance, totally understandable.
2. The Description for the naga myrmidon unit has the typo "can learn Pind down" instead of "can learn pin down". In the same vein, the Pin Down description has a couple of typos. "So that it cannot move and than slow it afther that" should be "So that it cannot move, and then a slow after that" or the much less wordy "So that it cannot move, followed by a slow" or similar.
3. This is pretty nitpicky, but the description for "Mrglgrl!" says that it "last 6 seconds" as opposed to "Lasts 6 seconds".

Nerubian
1. The "Spider Nest" upgrade description mentions that gatherers and nerubian workers both can become invisible while near Nerubian buildings. Now, either I'm blind, or nerubian worker units just don't exist- I'm assuming the description mentioning them is an artifact from a previous version, but it's very possible I'm oblivious.
2.For Webspinners, the "Sticky Trap" ability has the description refer to the ability as "Spider Trap". Not sure if this is intentional, seeing as how the timed life of the trap is also called "Spider Trap", whereas the unit for the trap is named sticky trap.
3. A purely visual bug. This might just be an engine limitation, but the circle (hole?) in the top of the Royal Treasury building allows you to see through the building. Far from game breaking, but it is kind of funny being able to see grass through a structure's walls.

That's all I have for now! Keep up the good work!

Join DISCORD if you want to help in searching for bugs, working on balance or play game together.
Let's make it real.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Oh a new Discord? Lol, why not.

I just read your signature and "Warcraft's Second Wind" is a perfectly good name for this project too. I'm surprised you didn't include it in the 'umbrella' (re: our conversation about "Warcraft 4")

 

[InkyElk#1885]

Do you have a Chinese version!?

 

[Maxwell]

Do you have a Chinese version!?

Sadly no, there are no other languages than english.

Aw c'mon man, don't keep us in suspense; what's the new one like? : )

Oh, it's easy - just dowbload and play the game

Played it again, on Amazonia, as Nerubian.

Played against Computer (Easy) to test out potential Nerubian strategy by using flyers only. My enemy was undead and he didn't build any anti-air setup, so I easily smashed him in macro.

However I noticed a strange error - maybe AI turns off when load save game, or maybe it has lost all of its resources dunno.

 

[templa]

well done,but I hope you could also add high elf race in this map

 

[Maxwell]

Not planned, but there are plenty elf races on the site.

Watched the game through Grubby at Youtube and i enjoyed watching people playing this map.
However I'm currently having a problem where the maps won't show up in Custom Game selection in-game. I hope I could get some answers as soon as possible as I cannot wait to play the map itself. Thanks!
